What’s Dancer?
A micro framework for writing web applications
So, Yet Another Web Framework?
Well, yes!
CGI.pm webapps are spaghetti
Catalyst is HUGE
Ruby introduced something different
We needed something similar in Perl
Definitely
And they also imitated us!
Available at http://perldancer.org and in GitHub.

Route Handlers
A Dancer app is a collection of route handlers; A route handler is, basically, a sub; It is bound to an http method; And to a path or a path pattern; Example get ’ / ’ => sub { . . .
};
post ’ / s u b m i t / : f i l e ’ => sub { . . . del ’ / r e s o u r c e /∗ ’ => sub { . . .

Route Handlers Static patterns (paths):
get ’ / ’ => sub { . . .

get ’ / a b o u t ’ => sub { . . .

Patterns with named tokens:
get ’ / book / : i d ’ => sub { # do s o m e t h i n g w i t h params −>{i d } ... };
get ’ / u s e r / : g r o u p / : u i d ’ => sub { # u s e params −>{u i d } and params −>{g r o u p } h e r e };

Templating
Dancer has plugins for most templating systems: Mason, Template Toolkit and others. Default is a Simple template system, built-in Dancer. Use the template inside the route:
get ’ / u s e r / : name ’ => sub { template ’ p r o f i l e ’ => { username => params−>{name } } ; };

Rerouting
You can reroute by: Passing the control to the next matching handler:
get ’ / l a z y ’ => sub { pass and r e t u r n false ; };
Redirecting to other URI:
get ’ / f o r b i d d e n ’ => sub { r e t u r n redirect ’ / b e t t e r / p l a c e ’ };

Serving Files You can serve a static file:
get ’ / dowload / : f i l e ’ => sub { my $file = params−>{file } ; pass and r e t u r n false u n l e s s −f $file ; send_file $file ;
};
If the content is generated, just change content-type:
get ’ / readme . t x t ’ => sub { content_type ’ t e x t / p l a i n ’ ; return ’ this is plain text ’ };
